Organ Symphonies op. 14 & op. 20

To commemorate the 75th anniversary of Louis Vierne‘s death, the present recording marks the beginning of audite‘s three-part complete recording of the composer‘s six Organ Symphonies with the organist Hans-Eberhard Roß. Recorded at the Goll organ of St. Martin in Memmingen, the recording is characterised by the warm, soft and widely mensurated sound of the organ. Its sound creates unobtrusive power and fullness, making a symphonic effect in the church interior of St. Martin and yet always remaining clear. The polyphonic structures of the works become distinct and the transparency of sound permits fresher tempi than usual – both of which cannot normally be taken for granted with recordings of Vierne.
